There should be a way to give directly to the developers (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I realize that, after all this time, I have never payed for my all-time favorite games I grew up playing (Fallout 3 & Skyrim). I can pay for it, but I really do not want to pay the money to the Bethesda’s marketing team, CEO, and whoever bullshit middle man who wants a cut of that. I want to give directly to the team that made the damn game, the artists, the sound designers, the voice actors, the programmers. If there was a way to do that, i’d be more happily inclined to spend my money on a decade year old game.

Just thinking

This is what buying from coop developers is like. You know that everyone involved has agreed that everyone else is essential to the creation of the game and that everyone receives a cut in one way or another.

Could you link/provide a list of coop dev groups? I'd love to help support them.

I know the Dead Cells guys, Motion Twin, are set up as a coop. Not sure about any other major team, and they've been pretty open about it only being feasible because they are a small studio.

Dead Cells team is coop? That's awesome, I'll definitely pay them when I am able to.
